Reviews for some of the 3-wheeled walkers have mentioned that they can be tippy. How stable is this walker?

it is not for people with balance problems like myself. it has nice big wheels to go over rougher ground. some older people just need a bit of strength help. like a tricycle it is more tippy than 4 wheels for sure.

I bought this for my 81 yr old mother and she absolutely loves this product instead of a 4 legged walker. She has had no trouble with tipping. She goes easily and makes her own steps while we are usually behind trying to catch up. Would definitely recommend!

My mother finds the walker to be very stable. However, she is a slim, short woman, so it might depend on who is using it.

This 3 wheel walker is great,it will not tip over. I am 86 broke my hip getting my foot under a large trash can and it knocked me down .I like it because I can get it in and out of my car by myself. I am a small woman and I can handle it with no problem and you can go through small place

It's pretty stable. It's just not as stable as 4-wheels for obvious reasons. I love my 3-wheeled walker. Lighter, easier to fold and handles better & it will go through smaller openings.

AP, this unit IS stable. My 97 year old Mother-In-Law uses it to navigate around the house with no problems. Never tipped. Rear wheel base is 24". Hope this helps.

It's really not very good on rough or rocky terrain, although locking the front wheel will help a little (but that makes it harder to turn), and it's better than most strollers - I have yet to try ANY that are good for rough or rocky terrain. It's a beast just to get it up/down curbs and wobbles a lot, so best to stick to smooth surfaces. As long as I stay on pavement/sidewalks, it's a dream and I can handle it with one hand. If I'm going off-road for walks and hikes, we use the Kelty backpack instead :)

This is the only stroller I've ever had, so it's hard to compare with other 'all terrain' strollers. However we have a very long gravel driveway and it's pretty smooth on it. As for big bumps, it does shake a bit when it comes to bumps, but again who knows how well different strollers can handle bums and pits. My opinion it won't handle jogging on a bumpy road, it has 3 wheels after all, so it does shake.

This is a very sturdy walker. As long as the ground is level, you should have no trouble. I LOVE mine.

It depends on the amount of weight added. This is a bit light and I would be very careful to lean too hard. It can stand some weight but be careful. I have had ti tigheten the front wheels a bit, because on city streets there is a tenancy to woble. Othewise it is weilcome change from the standard walker.

It is very stable. I would say it can handle it. It is a very good purchase from my point of view.

It strolls and maneuvers very easily. However, the wheels are hard so if the surface you are walking on is rough there will be air of vibration and I don't think the wheels would last long on a rough surface. Mine has had heavy use and has lasted through 1 baby and is now being used for a second baby so it is durable. I use a Bob stroller for our numerous long walks because the tires are like bicycle tires.

It is very stable. You can check ou the videos on Youtube. As your skill increases you can switch to advanced modes. But be careful when you operating in congested places. If the throttle is ON when you hit an obstacle, there is a 95% chance you will fry the motor in contact.

I have rolled it along on grass that is between smooth and rough and it has done well. Look out on side walks etc. you get up and it takes off if your on a slant. I can scoot it along on most of my surfaces. I love my wagon it is the second one I have bought. I gave my other one to my neighbor and it is still going strong.

It is pretty stable...my 12 yr old grandson gets on it and steps like crazy and he never tips it...you have to make sure when you get on it that your feet are centered though

This chair is very stable. My 3.5 year old has been using it ever since he could walk (and climb) and it has never come close to tipping over. The foot rest provides a very stable platform for the child to place their foot and give themselves a push up to the chair. Overall, I wouldn't say it is a tipping hazard at all.

In my opinion, "hunching over" is more with the patient than the walker. I hunch over, but the walker is not really the cause. These walkers are the very best wheeled walkers. The large wheels are a real bonus on uneven surfaces. The walker is extra sturdy. And above all (for me), it folds flat so it is easy to transport. Get it! You'll love it!

The three wheeled rollators can turn either direction very easily unlike a four wheeled walker. This walker is good while in crowded places such as when you are shopping. It is small and takes up less room than the four wheeled one. You can easily move around the store even in a crowd.

I don't know if this will be helpful or not. It sounds like the other one has three wheels although I can not be sure. I had a different stroller with three wheels and it wasn't a great stroller so I can not say for sure anything about this 3 wheeler. Mine tipped easily but again it was a different brandI like this stroller and use it in the Arboretum every day. It works fine on the dirt paths.I have had this one since Dec. and have only had good experiences with it.

I personally haven't had any issues with it tipping over and our son is pretty wild! I suppose if he tried to ride it like a skateboard, it COULD tip over...but so far it is doing its job and we're happy.

I wouldn't consider it "tippy". It is heavy and solid, however with 30 lbs on the edge, it would probably tip.
